Thats a good idea @Jennifer Z.

@Anthony Minutoli Come to a system like I'm currently where you have a lot of peer based ideas and control and you can see the transactions from A to Z.

@James Z. 

Additionally, it includes any other important details about the rights of the current tenants living in a rental property." https://www.apartmentlist.com/...Basically it makes the tenant sign a form before closing stating what their rent is and how much their security deposit is so that when you take over the property they don't try to argue that their rent was X, Y, or Z. 

If you plan to own it for 20-30 years and you have the budget to do X, Y, and Z to it, then choose the things that will last the longest well for those years.As far as quality of interior improvements . . . look around and your competition and best them by a degree or two OR Do the best quality of work you can do in the budget you have.

Having taken a course that covered shorts from A-Z a few years ago, could I/should I just do it myself?

I'm Hannah Grady Williams, a 22-year-old Gen Z'r and as my day job (and passion), I have the pleasure of serving as an employee engagement consultant for companies seeking to attract, recruit, hire, and engage Gen Z talent.All this being said, I'm an absolute NEWBIE real estate investor.

This is a standard step in the process of buying a home and you don't need to know A->Z about construction before you purchase so long as you bring on people as part of your team (like the agent and the inspector) who are competent and trustworthy.Go out there and get it, Koen!  

Yes, you are getting it straight from the horse's mouth; I, Donavon DesMarais, took this deal from A to Z along with the help of a business partner.

Be professional and let them know you are looking for someone experienced in X, Y, Z and ask about specific properties that they have helped investors buy.
